Howard Dean on the crisis in the Middle East,
â??If you think what’s going on in the Middle East today would be going on if the Democrats were in control, it wouldn’t, because we would have worked day after day after day to make sure we didn’t get where we are today. We would have had the moral authority that Bill Clinton had when he brought together the Northern Irish and the IRA, when he brought together the Israelis and the Palestinians.â?Â
Yes, he just said moral authority and Bill Clinton in the same sentence. And thank God Clinton solved the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, just imagine how difficult things would be now if we had to deal with that on top of everything else. Ah, the good old days, when AlQaeda was free to do their work uninterrupted. When they were attacking American interests around the world, slaughtering innocents at the World Trade Center in 1993, at our African embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, at military barracks in Saudi Arabia and onboard the USS Cole. Back when the world’s leading terrorist was the most frequent visitor to the White House (Arafat). The good old days indeed.
You have to wonder what the Republicans ever did to deserve Howard Dean. Is he the Manchurian candidate, secretely programmed to help the GOP every time he opens his mouth?
